successful_workthru Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I am diagnosed BPD or EUPD as it's now known. What does PDD mean? I googled it and it means pervasive developmental disorder, wilipedia says " It's terrible that we're basically given a 'kill your child' or be forced into giving them a potential awful start to live. " I think it's linked with autistic spectrum disorders, but don't take my word for it. Wikipedia also says " The pervasive developmental disorders are pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), which includes atypical autism and is the most common; autism, the best-known, now understood to be part of a spectrum; Asperger syndrome; Rett syndrome; and childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD).[1] " so, you could ask your mh workers to specify which of the disorders you have, as to me, it possibly, sounds like a group of disorders. You could look up each of these disorders and see which ones relate to you the most. I did that with borderline and it only took me 7yrs to get diag. I didnt know this was a borderline forum, i only used it cos so many posts related to my own situation and feelings and kept seeing BPD mentioned, which I thought meant bipolar, yet bipolar does not resemble my condition, so iin the end, I posted on here asking what BPD was. hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily-Bee Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Ive heard of this. Those are both about feeling depressed almost always right? I am so sorry to hear it. You are not alone I promise, a lot of people here suffer from severe depressions. its just they may have a different label but a lot of us understand the feelings and suffering that goes with PDD and Dysthemia.Youre most welcome to talk about it here, maybe it will help you to hear from others and know youre not alone in this.
